God of Tricksters

Boom.

"Theo!" Maya shouted, panicking. After all, the moment he was hit by the flame ball, the clone disappeared. At the same time, the spear in Theo's hand indicated him to be the real one. So, she was worried that Theo actually got injured.

Unfortunately for her, she was wasting her time. Another Theo suddenly appeared right in front of the Skeletal Warriors.

"!!!" The Skeletal Warriors were startled as they never saw this coming.

Theo waved his spear and cut the bottom part of the shields, including the Skeletal Warriors' feet.

In that instant, the Skeletal Warriors stumbled forward, and their heads hit the ground.

Theo took this chance to kill all three warriors in an instant.

The Skeletal Archers and Mages were confused, not understanding why Theo was still alive. The power of that black flame should be enough to kill Theo, yet, the latter was still alive.

They immediately aimed at the one they could see.

The arrows were covered with black flame, containing a power that couldn't be compared to a normal arrow.

But Theo's onslaught had yet to stop. From behind, the Skeletal Mages and Skeletal Archers dropped to the ground. The moment they looked down, their feet were gone.

Agata immediately killed them by destroying their necks with her spikes while Maya blasted their skull with explosive bullets.

"Well, do you guys miss me?" Theo suddenly appeared behind them with a smile on his face.

"Huh? What?" Maya turned around and stared in disbelief. "How did you appear behind us?"

Theo stuck his tongue out and playfully said, "How do you think?"

Maya was taken aback and turned to Agata, who had a tired expression.

"You get used to it." Agata shrugged. "To be honest, he's very good at a small place like this. I mean, it's easy for him to make a chance to disappear. Can't you see how easy it is for me to fill this place with my smoke? That's how it is for him to disappear.

"If you want to defeat Theo, bring him to a flatland. If you can't, then you'll probably be defeated by a sneak attack."

Maya couldn't help but recall how she was defeated when she fought him in Thersland. It was true that Theo changed the scenery to a lake where he could launch a sneak attack.

"It seems I still need to work on my observation. To think I can't even see this coming…" Maya shook her head in disappointment.

"Anyway, there are around thirty floors in this area. We should go deeper if we want to find something." Agata ignored Maya's reaction and said to Theo.

"Okay. Let's reach the 15th floor today." Theo nodded with a serious expression.

"We have a map." Agata nodded.

"Don't worry. I see it too." Theo used the glasses Agata bought, so it was easy for him to navigate while allowing his clone to make way, checking any kinds of traps.

The trio then continued their ways, climbing down the stairs as they made their way to the deeper level.

Theo had seen multiple traps on the way, making him realize it was hard to survive in this place alone unless he had some experience.

The traps didn't come out simply because they pressed a tile. Some traps were activated only by passing them.

When that happened, they didn't realize that some traps had started working.

The traps came in various ways too. There was a trap that summoned fifty skeletons surrounding them from both sides, which was avoided with the help of Theo's Blinks.

Another trap came in the form of a splitting ground filled with spikes.

After a few hours, Theo and the others decided to move toward one of the treasure rooms so they could understand what they were searching for.

Maya led them to a secret room. The room had nothing inside other than a bigger space than the tunnel.

There was even a chance of the Skeletal Monsters to appear in this room, so they might be able to use it to rest, but they still needed to be wary as everything could happen inside.

Still, Theo understood that the situation would become extremely dangerous soon. After all, if they wanted to find a secret room, they needed to check on the tile.

This action allowed them to accidentally activate a trap. There were even some records that people were stabbed to death because they mistook a trap for a treasure room.

Some spikes would also come out from that exact tile, so Theo could only let his clone do all the jobs while they were walking around behind the clone.

The journey was a bit slow, and since this was the first time they entered this dungeon, Theo preferred to experience the entire dungeon first before searching for a treasure room.

With Maya's agreement, they continued and made their way toward their destination.

Unfortunately, they didn't find anything other than some monsters that gave them a level or two.

The next day, they continued to the bottom layer.

Theo wished to look around the lowest part, so they headed to the lowest floor. Unfortunately, there was nothing different. The floor looked exactly the same as any other floor, and they ultimately went back to the surface.

They needed to make a plan on what area they planned to search and returned the other day.

This was how they investigated a dungeon. It was a repetitive and tedious process, but they needed to do this in order to find something good.

Luckily, there were endless monsters appearing here and there, so they took it as a consolation prize in case they didn't find anything.

And as one would expect from a group that only wanted to go to the bottom layer to check things up and return to the surface afterward, they didn't find a single thing from inside.

Theo and the others agreed to rest on the facility before planning how they wished to explore it in their next dive.

Little did they know, this trip would have an impact on their life.
